Peppermint Ridge will be starting a new program called "The Rhythmic Arts Projects" (or, TRAP) in the fall. Thanks to Steve's brother James for giving me the information about it. TRAP is "The Rhythmic Arts Project (TRAP) is an educational program for people with disabilities. Employing drums and percussion, the program teaches and enhances basic life skills such as: maintaining focus, using memory, taking turns, developing leadership, using numbers, using prepositional concepts, following instructions, and modeling. Issues of spatial awareness, fine and gross motor skills, and speech are also addressed. Teaching occurs in an environment that is fun and not threatening so participants develop improved confidence and a more positive self-image." (from the TRAP website)
Eddie Tuduri, the TRAP founder, will be here on November 1st to train us. This is so exciting and I can't wait to begin! Visit TRAP at www.traponline.com
